Suicide is another thing that's so frowned upon in this society, but honestly, life isn't for everybody ... it really isn't. Life is like a movie: if you've sat through more than half of it and it sucked every second so far, it probably isn't gonna get great right at the very end for you and make it all worthwhile. No one should blame you for walking out early. ~ Doug Stanhope

There were approximately 800,000 suicide attempts in the US in 2005. According to the CDC, more than 33,000 suicides occurred in the US in 2007, and over 395,000 people were treated in emergency rooms for self-inflicted injuries. Extrapolating from this data, only 1 in 25 suicide attempts are successful.

Before calling 1-800-SUICIDE (784-2433) [Kristin Brooks Hopeline] or 1-800-273-TALK (8255) [National Suicide Prevention Lifeline], be aware that operators on both of these crisis lines are required to send authorities to the residence on file with the telephone company when the caller is considered a threat to himself (or another person). Admitting to being suicidal is often enough to have police or EMTs dispatched to your door without your knowledge. If you do not have insurance, you will be billed for the ambulance ride, the ER visit, and psychiatric hold. The moderators want you to believe this is exaggeration, but it has happened and continues to happen to redditors who call these hotlines.

If you decide to call a hotline, use Skype or a pay telephone to avoid having your number traced. Never reveal any identifying information to the crisis counselors. If you prefer online support, always create a new account with an anonymous name before posting.

Suicide is another thing that's so frowned upon in this society, but honestly, life isn't for everybody ... it really isn't. Life is like a movie: if you've sat through more than half of it and it sucked every second so far, it probably isn't gonna get great right at the very end for you and make it all worthwhile. No one should blame you for walking out early. ~ Doug Stanhope

There were approximately 800,000 suicide attempts in the US in 2005. According to the CDC, more than 33,000 suicides occurred in the US in 2007, and over 395,000 people were treated in emergency rooms for self-inflicted injuries. Extrapolating from this data, only 1 in 25 suicide attempts are successful.

Before calling 1-800-SUICIDE (784-2433) [Kristin Brooks Hopeline] or 1-800-273-TALK (8255) [National Suicide Prevention Lifeline], be aware that operators on both of these crisis lines are required to send authorities to the residence on file with the telephone company when the caller is considered a threat to himself (or another person). Admitting to being suicidal is often enough to have police or EMTs dispatched to your door without your knowledge. If you do not have insurance, you will be billed for the ambulance ride, the ER visit, and psychiatric hold. The moderators want you to believe this is exaggeration, but it has happened and continues to happen to redditors who call these hotlines.

If you decide to call a hotline, use Skype or a pay telephone to avoid having your number traced. Never reveal any identifying information to the crisis counselors. If you prefer online support, always create a new account with an anonymous name before posting.
